Sort of farewell

As I posted earlier was thinking about selling my note. Well someone offered me $350 cash locally so I took them up and went to Sam's club and bought their last 16gb Google tablet to hold me over until the note 2 in a few months. So far its pretty cool.
I will still be checking here daily to keep up with development and see who is moving to the 2. Plus I've made some good international pals here as well.
anyway, thanks everyone from themers to chefs to developers to those who help and those I've helped, its been fun and ill see ya here and when the second version of the greatest phablet ever is released

How DARE YOU!
But okay, we'll see you on "the other side", and with that; i mean the Note 2 section.

Adios bud. Hope you like the nexus 7, I'll be getting myself one here shortly and I'll see you in the note 2 forums!!

Thanks. I'm counting the days until the 2 is released trust me. So far the tab is good. Enjoying my $25 store credit, first purchase is the new Batman game which is freaking 2gig!
Will still be here checking things out and hoping most of you come over to the 2!

Sorry man, but we don't like wasting money on slightly incremental upgrades. Note 3 or bust.

I actually ask myself the same question. "Is that big purchase of the new device justified for a sake of some improvements (but not so overly dramatic)?".
I realise Note2 will come with 4 core processor, slightly bigger screen and perhaps Spen functionality ironed out and maybe better battery life. But how much all these improved features will affect my daily use. The more I think about it the less I'm convinced that I should switch...

Then you're brain is working properly.
None of the features that have leaked are worthy for NOTE users to switch. I mean sure from a Gnex or an S3... but the NOTE is still one of the most advanced smartphones out there.

Completely agree. I bought my Note 2-3 months ago, and sure i'd like to have Note 2, but lets be honest, throwing loads of money away just to get quad-core cpu ( which i probably won't even notice in my daily use ) is just...well...not very smart, unless you have a lot of cash you can spend for whatever you like, then i guess there's no discussion here. Will definitely buy Note 2, but probably in a year or so.

I am really interested to buy Nexus 7. let us know if you are satisfied with the tablet as a Note user

So far I love it. Couple of days in. Never used spen so no biggie there. Gaming awesome. Quadcore awesome. Screen awesome. Makes calls.
I guess imagine a Note on steroids
I've always wanted a large smartphone and this is it! And it actually fits in most of my pockets, and my wife thinks I'm happy to see her all the time too! :thumbup:
Seriously with it doubt i need note 2 now.
From the Note to Nexus 7

Should I buy it???

I know its on personal requirements but if someone can suggest...
I am an engineering student (age 20) having galaxy s2 bought 4 months ago,, i wonder if it will be a good decision to buy note 2...i mean that is it usable...not too big to use as a phone ???
Or should i wait till next year for something like galaxy s4...??

Up to you but you wont see anything better until next year around this time when note 3 comes.. from my personal experience and from most of note 1 owners once you use the note for several days you CAN NOT use anything smaller..

This.
Going to anything smaller just doesnt work anymore.
And even though most of my friends and family who say they'll never get one, can't seem to put down my phone when i come over. I think they are waiting for the day their contract is up :cyclops:

What about the s3?
Also I think this might belong in the q and a section instead.

i tried the note 1 liked got use to the size but was bit issues with pocket for me..i dont wear tight jeans..try it out and you can always return it like i did..new note 2 sure is a nice device i just got a GS3 when it came out here in US was the lucky few to grab one before anyone else..i dont really even talk much on the phone..mostly a data user

I would recommend the note 2 definitely.
I started on an iphone 3g to iphone 4. I found about custom themes/roms on android then got a galaxy s2. the s2 dominated apple iphones. when I saw the note 1 come out I was like sweet, my priority is web/movies. when I got the note 1 I couldn't put it down. I would never downgrade in size, but that's because I use it primarily for facebook, the web and movies. unfortunately I hard bricked it awhile ago installing a wrong zip file
so I can't wait till the note 2 comes out. I will be all over it like a fly on sh!t

I would recommend it. I had an iPhone up until spring this year when I went to HK and bought a SGN1 and now whenever I handle my iphone I just can't get used to that small screen anymore. The large screen area of the SGN really makes a huge difference. Even though my SGN1 is only 6 months old I feel it had some shortcomings (primarily lag related) which should be rectified with the SGN2.

I agree. Once you have the Galaxy Note, you can never go back to a smaller screen. I was hoping the Note 2 would be 6". *sigh*

cant wait for galaxy note 2 to come out and very disappointed with Samsung as always they delay the product by 5-6 weeks after they show it,they should put it as soon as possible to get the customers and look crapple they going to rls next week and they only show it on the 12 damn crap iphone and hate that piece of crap widget phone,then next one will be Samsung Galaxy S5 by the time [18 months contract finish]

Most probably s4 is coming on Feb 2013...so i will go for that.

It will have 5“ display and will definately be beaster than note 2.

Do you need it?
You have to ask yourself one question. What is it going to do that your current phone doesn't do already?
4 months into a contract; really?

I've had 3 galaxy note ( 1st model) and i can say that galaxy ote is one of the greatest phones every. don't care about the screen. it's wonderful even if is very big.but you will be proud to have it in your pants.

I see more and more people using their phone not for calling/speaking to others, but for music, Web Browsing, Social media and watching media content. Adding to all this, even if you call others very frequently, people use bluetooth headsets or hands-free. So, I tend to feel that the 'Galaxy Note being too big' argument doesn't hold water anymore. As long as you can figure out a way to fit into your pocket, or keep it safe when you move around, it is definitely a sure to have phone.

I'm changing from S2(i9100) - S2(i9100G) - Galaxy Note(N7000)... then now i'm waiting for Note 2...
can't really go back to smaller screen, hurts my eyeballs
and also hooked on Super Amoled.... LCD are just not that level... :fingers-crossed:

If you want a Note II to go with your GN10.1, Amazon Wireless has them half price!

If you sign up for new account. Pretty awesome deal. Back-ordered 2 weeks.

** I posted this because the Note II is our sister device and an excellent choice if you own the SGN10.1 due to the sharing of S-Note SNB files among other things.

Wish I could do this in Canada...

Im sorry to say this but most of your recent posts has nothing to do with note 10.1 forum

The Note II has NOTHING to do with the Note 10.1 forum? Its our sister device. It is THE phone to own if you own the Note 10.1. Get a clue friend.
You can't imagine why SGN10.1 owners would want to know about a great deal on our sister device? - ** facepalm **
Geesh.
I know this doesn't seem nearly as important as threads about lousy viewing angles or what color to buy but I digress. I promise to pay back all the internets I used up.

I bought a note 2 a month after buying note 10.1..
I believe they compliment each other..

Really? I have the S2 right now, but apparently, my dad can upgrade to a new phone.. so I may or may be using his upgrade. Not sure if I should get the Note 2 because it is a gigantic phone which might mean that I'd need my tablet less.. you know? Could you describe how your uses differ/complement each other?

Ya i'll be getting a Note 2 soon...if Samsung hasnt convinced you that Exynos Quad Core is the way to go...nothing will (but just wait til quad A15 next year and new t608 mali!!!) I know the phone is gigantic but more battery + awesome screen + great camera + spen support + great devs = winning combo. Plus after using Note 10.1 its just changed my life for the better with greater productivity. Although i will say this thread is a little late to the table...i could have sworn i saw someone else over on GN2 forums post something about this....
PS to the user above me, this is for NEW lines only, not upgrades or add a line

Well, yes, I love my tablet, and especially the stylus, but I'm not sure I can see myself using it with my tablet as a good combination..

I had the original Note (not the Note II). It is what convinced me to buy the Note 10.1...

Well the obvious advantage of the GN2 as a compliment to the GN10.1 is the ability to share SNB s-notes files and be able to edit them on both devices.
At home the GN2 and GN10.1 are clearly redundant but much easier to carry the GN2 around with you on the road despite its large size.

Exactly. I remember saying this a while back in the summer before the GN2 was introduced how much more productive i am with the 10.1 than any other tablet or pc, and then when the Note2 was introduced, the ability to look at a document on the tablet, edit a few instances with the s-pen, send it off to colleagues, and then throughout the day look over corrections or adendums on theNote 2, all while syncing in the cloud (edit something now in S notes, pull GN2 out 5 minutes later and continue editing, etc.) and editing again for final draft, - all this has really changed how much more productive ive become. It will be the #2 android phone this year for a good reason whether you are a fanboy or not.

Samsung tab 3 8.0 or Samsung note 8?

Hello i guys i wanna buy a tablet for web browsing,listen music,youtube,emails and im between those two tablets ,they have 50euros different in my country and i'm think what to buy... i heard the tab 3 has better battery life and i really appriciate lonng battery life but the note 8 is better in specs .Thank you for listening and hope you share your wisdom and experience

Note 8
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

For me, it would be an easy decision. If you like the stylus & digitizer combo (one of the best features EVER) then get the Note8. Otherwise get the Tab3 since its newer tech. I own the Note8 and a Note3 and LOVE the style and the features it adds to the overall device.

I had both and i xecided to keep the note 8. Longer battery lifei get a full day plus, faster processor. Tab 3 looked a little sleeker but hardware is old and lags alot on apps. Plus the headphone out on the note 8 is much cleaner. Amazon refurbished around 200 for the note 8. Just as good as new.... dont forget the active digitizer and stylus....

So of you have have to go with 220euros for note 8 would you still buy it? I mean is it worth it? Gpad cost like 270 and the tab pro 8.4 300euros in my country.

I would echo the thoughts.
If you want the stylus, it's a no brainer for the Note. The specs are a bit better as well. However if none of that matters, the Tab will do you well.

Note 8 because if the better specs will run better for you longer term than the tab 3. Unless you plan to get a new tablet every year stick with the best specs you can afford

Merge the Tab S with the Note product line already.

Isn't that the best course of action Samsung could take?
Sure it'll be more expensive...unless Samsung could...I don't know... somehow shave down costs by deleting some TW feature(s) and inserting those costs savings in the merger of the 2 product lines?
This is not a Samung bashing thread, I just want to know your opinions about this topic.

Thats what Ive been saying for a year. It took a year for me to get a 32 gigabyte 8.4 inch s-series. I'm pretty upset today with Samsung anyways due to the fact I own almost everything in the Note series I had a Note 8.0 which I give to my mom, I had a Note 3 which I sold to upgrade to the nNote 4 and the Note Edge which I love. I have the 2014 Note 10.1, and Note Pro 12.2. The unveiling in a week will now not be 2 Notes. One Note 5 and the S6 Edge! I wanted a Note Edge 2 soooo bad! Then Samsung decides to make the new Notes like the S series...No more removable battery and NOOO MORE Sd Card slots! This was my breaking point. I read every form known to man and I listen to the people all year say that if the note 5 does not have a slot for an SD card or if you can't remove the back for the battery this is going to be a problem with Samsung in no way listened to the people. Also thousands of people were waiting for the Note Edge 2! I don't understand why they just don't listen to what the people want. I have all my device is rooted because I like custom ROMs and I like themes I like tweaking my device I've spent close to $5000 on Samsung merchandise in just the last couple years, only to the watch them not listen to the people.... I love my ass. But I don't know where I'm going from here

@DionWhite33 tbh I loved Samsung now I am going to buy anything but Samsung until they fix many things. They are stupidly slow at updating software and also the updates on their devices has no order. I bought my Note 10.1 2014 in January 2014 and havnt heard a single thing about a new note 10.1 tablet since. Becoming a stupid company and its nice to see them lose share in the industry maybe they will wake up before its too late as they made some great devices in the past hence I own a Note 10.1 and also the S3. But my next tablet and phone wont be Samsung unless they change their mentality.

Yes it's a shame that Samsung's leaving out the sd card and removable battery, but if we get an extremely optimised OS in return for it, then I won't complain. I can work around the sd card limitations, but I refuse to work with a stuttering peace of junk.
Wow 5000 spent? You must really love Samsung lol.
Maybe a normal tablet is the way to go, and use a capacitive stylus with it(jot pro or something)
But I can't think of an excellent Android tablet at the moment that doesn't start with Samsung or Sony.

Yea it's a shame really, the original note was a super hero... But then the note 2014 upgraded the hardware but the software seemed to have slowed down or something like that. Either way it didn't feel the same way as the original one.
I'm never going to buy another Samsung device (in 10 years maybe) because of their negligence of not properly optimising this tablet and just pushing out non critical incremental updates.
the only difference that I can see between a kitkat update from mid 2014 and late 2015 is the addition of a kinetic/friction movement effect on the floating window icons (when you try to swipe away an icon).

This. I'm a pennable tablet nutjob and have gone through so many machines now to find that "ultimate" note taking device for school. The Note 10.1 is just the perfect size and weight (IMO). I've realized at school I'll do just fine with an Android tablet considering when I go home I have a powerful desktop to work from. OneNote Android will suffice as long as I import class lecture PDF/PPTs on my desktop the night before class.
At the moment, this Note or the 12.2 are the only options with true active digitizer support. No other manufacturer is targeting note-takers, it's sad. I'd be all over a Sony tablet if they offered one with a wacom digitizer.

I really think the note tablet is dead, Samsung just doesn't seem interested. They released the tab A with spen but it's mid tier. I would buy it as I am being sold on the 4:3 dimensions but there is literally no development. It's not like we can count on Samsung to upgrade this. It sits at lollipop and will maybe get android M when N has been out for over 6 months

Possibilty of a tablet @ note's event
Apperently samsung'll introduce a tablet at the note's event:

Let's hope its not a 7 inch tablet like the article suggests.
